DONT GIVE UP!! that is what the insurance companies want you to do, then they know you are not serious. so DONT GIVE UP 10-21-03 332-270-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi, I am trying to get my insurance to cover surgery. I have been denied many times yet I am over 100 lbs overweight. Does anyone have a suggestion? Should I appeal? How many people have been denied then won the appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi, I have Value Care and IHC. I believe they are both HMO's. When you read about the allowed services. They do NOT allow surgery for weight loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 erin, fight 'em fiercely! give 'em all the documentation from specialists, prescription receipts, 'remind' them of the NIH consensus... on asbs.org they also offer literature. check your policy regarding the appeals process & go for it! lori h. > Hi, > > I am trying to get my insurance to cover surgery.
